The tires have a very soft compound, and when they are cold, there are also very hard. When the car moves and the wheels are turned, the tires are actually "skidding" on the pavement. Once the tires warm up, the sound goes away and everything is fine. However, be very careful when driving the car when the temp is close to freezing (32°) because they have a tendency to have less traction (tires are still somewhat hard) when going around a corner. This is the reason to install winter tires.
